Augusta, GA, USA - May 15, 2015: An entrance to the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. The Augusta National Golf Club is a private country club and home to the annual Masters PGA tournament.

Date: June 03, 2025

Golf fans have a little under a month to apply for tickets to the 2026 Masters Tournament.

Users can gain access to the lottery at the Augusta National’s official website, masters.com. To be included, aspiring patrons will need to visit the website and create an account.

This year’s deadline is June 20. 

Anyone can apply for practice round tickets on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Tournament day tickets, which are Thursday through Sunday, are available to the general public with the exceptions of series badge patrons, club and tournament employees, and other related Augusta National Golf Club associates.

Once upon a time, practice round tickets could be bought at the gate; however, those days are long in the past. Staff Photo.

Applicants can choose which days they wish to attend, but will be limited to one day, and may join the lottery for up to four tickets for practice round days and a limit of two tickets for tournament days. 

Longtime patrons may note that this year’s tickets are slightly more expensive with practice round tickets going for $125 Monday and Tuesday, tickets for Par 3 Wednesday are $150 each. Tournament day tickets will set patrons back $160.

Officials with the golf club say that lottery winners will be notified by email in late July.

Those wishing to join the lottery for the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals can also apply through June 20, but will need to visit the direct websites of the events at anwagolf.com and tickets.drivechipandputt.com.

Next year’s Masters Tournament will be held April 6 – 13.
